Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted October 12, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 12, 2016 It was Earthquake, Piper's real life bodyguard who ran off when Kevin Nash and Piper went at it and Luther Reigns of all people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 12, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 12, 2016 Pretty sure that segment was a huge ratings winner. Even though critically it was absolutely death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted October 12, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 12, 2016 Its used as the example of people being so stunned into what they were seeing they couldnt switch off. Even now its a sight to see. It seemed to go on forever as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 12, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 12, 2016 I remember watching it the first time ando trying to guess throughout what it was a set up for. And then nothing happened after all that bit the realisation that THEY were going to take on the nWo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daily Buzzard Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Anyone who answers this with anything post-2000, is wrong basically. Â Â Dino Bravo lets the side down somewhat, but still. Wasn't Harley Race in that team as well? Fairly sure there isn't yet a Survivor Series team that is all deceased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daily Buzzard Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 My favourite team would be the face team from the Tag Teams Survivor match at SS88. Bulldogs, Hart Foundation and Rockers all on the same team. Along with the Power of Pain and the Young Stallions. That match was great, apart from the double turn finish which was a mess.

MEGABUCKS Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Always liked the Team of Rowdy Roddy Piper, Bret Hitman Hart, The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith and VIRGIL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daily Buzzard Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I went off Survivor Series a bit when it changed to four man teams. The first one was the best when you had all the main event/heavyweight guys in one match. For the second one, you had to believe that Hogan & Savage would choose guys like Koko B. Ware and Hillbilly Jim for their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Wow, looking at this I'm seeing a major generation gap. I haven't seen any of those teams! Â For me- as wrong as it apparently makes me- I loved the team composition of DX, Hardys and CM Punk in 2006. Mostly for the inclusion of CM Punk, he was still on ECW and a couple of months into his WWE career, yet the crowd that night went apeshit for the rookie. Fuck the recently reunited DX and the even more recently reunited Hardys, this crowd wanted Punk. DX were in the middle of their schtick, but couldn't ignore the reaction, so Trips put his arm around Punk and let him do the "Are you ready?" bit. Â The actual match was an annoyingly one-sided beatdown of Rated RKO- I want to say MNM?- and Mike Knox. I just loved that pre-match moment, and it's a pretty damn strong team for star power too.

MEGABUCKS Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Id also like to give a shout out to The Teamsters (Diesel, Shawn Michaels, Owen Hart, The Anvil & Jeff Jarrett)... loved them coming to Diesel's original truck noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DraxSpago Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Add me to the list for Hogan's 1989 team, Survivor Series '89 was the second wrestling tape I got when I was a kid, Hogan was obviously my favourite, I always loved Demolition and Jake Roberts had a massive snake for fucks sake! Can't get cooler than that to a 7 year old or whatever I was  Echo the point about Team DX at SS '06, that show really made use of WWE having 3 brands at the time, hopefully they can do something similar this year with Raw, SD and NXT wrestlers being teamed up, it'd be a fuck sight better than Raw vs Smackdown anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWM Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Yeah, the 2006 show felt a real throwback to the old Survivor Series, and I think should be allowed to count as an anomaly. Surely we all loved the brilliant Raw segment with all the different teams from the elimination matches coming out and bullshitting with one another? That DX/Rated-RKO elimination match was some choice comedy and didn't derail the individual feuds (DX/RKO, Hardyz/MNM, Punk/Knox) that made up the teams at all. It probably derailed Punk's career a bit, but...you know, you can't have everything. Â Echoing the shout for the Teamsters in '94, particularly the entrance of them all, and Shawn's performance in general. Actually, everybody in that match gets a major pass from me. The Bad Guys were class as well, even with bumbling Fatu. That was my first look at the Barbarian being back as Seone, who I thought looked mint back in his old Powers of Pain gear. Bulldog didn't half have his working boots on when he came back in '94 too. I love the bit in the match where Diesel hoys Bulldog over the ropes to the floor and the Kid is still lying there dead selling the Jacknife. And poor old Owen wailing "We're gonna lose!" when it's all kicking off with Diesel and HBK in the aisle. It's a great, great match, actually.

The British Bushwacker Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Always liked the All Americans purely for Taker's coat lining, Lex is looking completely confused by it though  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
